From tomorrow, people above 45 years of age will get Corona vaccine, get registered like this; know the whole process here

New Delhi, Agencies. Vaccination continues amid the growing threat of the coronavirus in the country. A major decision has been taken regarding the ongoing Corona Vaccination Program in the country, under which the people of the age of 45 years have also been asked to get the Corona vaccine from April 1. Earlier, those people above 45 years who were suffering from serious diseases were getting the corona vaccine. But now the government has appealed to the people that all the people of 45 years get the Corona vaccine. Its process will start across the country from tomorrow.

Why is 45+ vaccination necessary?

The government has said that according to the figures so far, 80 percent of deaths due to corona have occurred only in people above 45 years of age. It is clear that by applying the vaccine to people of this age, deaths from corona can be prevented to a great extent. It has also been clarified by the government that once 45+ people are vaccinated, then those below 45 years of age will also be vaccinated.

Where can we get the vaccine, how much is the price?

In addition to government-private hospitals, the Corona vaccine will be installed in private centers in the country. Vaccine is being provided free of cost in government hospitals while in private hospitals a charge of Rs 250 is being charged for a dose. A few weeks later, the second dose of the vaccine will be introduced, for which a fee of Rs 250 will also have to be paid.

Register yourself in this way

To get vaccinated, you have to do your online registration (registration for corona vaccine). For vaccination, people will have to go to the cowin.gov.in portal and register themselves.

People over 45 years of age can book an appointment by going to COWIN.gov.in and registering themselves. Every day one crore registrations can be accepted on this portal. You will get the date, time, and place of vaccination only after registration.

Second way - even without online registration, you can get such a vaccine

You can get the Corona vaccine even without online registration. For this, the government has introduced a special system. It was told by the government that for vaccination people usually have to go to the cowin.gov.in portal and register themselves.
